My Defender adventure begins
Picked up my 110 XS Utility last week and loving the experience so far Thumbs Up Loire Blue really sparkles in the sun. 36k miles and waxoyl applied within first year by previous owner. Lovely condition throughout - a few mods planned as this will be my work truck.

Amazed at how friendly the Defender community are - driving around I'm surprised how many other owners wave Bow down

Looks very shiny. Will it ever venture into the wilderness, or is it just for the tarmac?

Maybe not the wilderness, but will definitely be used off tarmac for work Thumbs Up 2014 110 XS Utility

Thanks for all the replies and warm welcome. I love the colour, but gather they only ran it on Defenders for about 18 months - no idea why. Yes, mods planned - already completed a couple yesterday....

1. A BAS remap. Had a remap on it when I bought it, but wasn't very smooth power delivery. Removing that and adding Pete's has transformed the way it drives. Just goes to show not all remaps are equal!

2. Added a BAS Shift - R gear shifter. Again makes a huge difference to the way the car drives. Also, really pleased with myself as I'm certainly no mechanic and am always hesitant about doing anything that involves dismantling bits of cars Exclamation

Not sure these count as mods, but also added a couple of accessories - RAM Mount for iPhone and a Mud Stuff cubby box tray.

Currently deciding on other mods, but considering:

MSS cubby box, MSS drawer and/or storage chest and new wheels. Also would like smaller steering wheel - any recommendations appreciated! 2014 110 XS Utility
